ECU isn't the foe John Bunting needs now

Friday, June 24, 2005

ECU, which hasn't enjoyed a winning season since Steve Logan draped that towel around his neck in 2000, might be a lightweight next to the teams John Bunting's been playing, but here's a game that is good for both programs. Bunting, 19-30 overall, takes the same heat that his predecessor, Mack Brown, did in 10 years in Chapel Hill. If Brown said it once, he said it a thousand times: "We're everybody's big game." But Bunting, whose still-suspicious defense could cost him dearly in 2005, doesn't need a schedule any tougher than UNC already has lined up. (Durham Herald-Sun)
